Fazio, Claudio; Di Paola, Benedetto; Guastella, Ivan – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2012
In this paper we discuss a study on the approaches to modeling of students of the 4-year elementary school teacher program at the University of Palermo, Italy. The answers to a specially designed questionnaire are analyzed on the basis of an "a priori" analysis made using a general scheme of reference on the epistemology of mathematics…

Testa, Italo; Galano, Silvia; Leccia, Silvio; Puddu, Emanuella – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
In this paper, we report about the development and validation of a learning progression about the Celestial Motion big idea. Existing curricula, research studies on alternative conceptions about these phenomena, and students' answers to an open questionnaire were the starting point to develop initial learning progressions about change of seasons,…
